Ayatollah Khamenei described the Muslim youths' large enthusiasm in Imam Khomeini as impressive.
"The volume of relentless propaganda of the enemies of Islam about Imam Khomeini is by no means comparable with the volume of promotional propagations nevertheless, as an overall outcome of the politico-propaganda challenge, a young generation has emerged in different countries including in Lebanon and Palestine which though hardly remembers the life or departure of Imam but attracted to the teachings of the honorable has hoisted the flag of Islam in the face of enemies of God and takes pride in the job," Ayatollah Khamenei said.

Ayatollah Khamenei said the principles of thought and movement of Imam the Departed is crystal-clear. The IR Leader called the Revered Statute a platform for Imam's line.
"Certain people try to put forward such an interpretation of the platform of Islam and revolutionary goals, including religious democracy and Islamic human rights, that well complies with the failed Liberalism or western desires," Ayatollah Khamenei warned, alerting that the drive is deviated from the line of Imam and stands exactly against his platform. The IR Leader urged the audience to be wary about the drive and raise alert about it.
As another principle thought of Imam Khomeini, the IR Leader pointed to his objection to fanaticism accompanied by his full adherence to original Islamic creed.
"Imam was truly against fanaticism, dogmatism or simple mindedness through his open and bright mind. However Imam's innovation in creed was limited to the boundaries of the Islamic statute which is unfortunately not observed by some people who follow their taste in increasing or decreasing the revolutionary principles against the line and path of Imam Khomeini."
Ayatollah Khamenei said that promotion of rightful matters is subject to diligence. The IR Leader urged for unwavering and diligent promotion and expansion of Imam Khomeini's thought by word and deed as wished by the Departed so that his movement keeps ahead in an unwinking manner.
